Thorin

Thorin is a masculine name of Old Norse origin. It is derived from the elements 'Thor', the name of the Norse god of thunder, and 'orn', meaning 'raven' or 'warrior'.

The name Thorin can be interpreted as 'Thor's raven' or 'thunder warrior'. In Norse mythology, ravens were considered sacred birds and were often associated with the gods, particularly Odin, the chief deity.

The name gained popularity in modern times after its use in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel 'The Hobbit', where Thorin Oakenshield is the leader of the dwarves on their quest to reclaim their homeland from the dragon Smaug.

While Thorin is a relatively uncommon name, it has a strong, rugged appeal and a connection to Norse and Germanic cultural heritage.
